Reviews on Nikon D3 12.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only
The D3 left me speechless
Strengths: Low noise at high ISO. Flexibility in custom programming. Very intuitive layout. SOLID feel. Great display.
Weakness: Bracketing limited to +/- 1 step at a time instead of +/- 2
I set down a D1X and popped the lens on the D3. Big mistake. That might as well have been a funeral ceremony for the D1X. The unfair comparison aside, this camera left me wondering how I was ever going to use all it had to offer. The first thing I noticed was that after a quick review of the control layout and on-screen menu choices, entering all of the custom settings I wanted was simple. Most...
Nikon D3 Professional DSLR
Strengths: Incredibly accurate metering system, Low light High ISO setting capabilities with minimal noise, full frame sensor,dual memory card slots, exceptional battery life, 3" high res LCD & clear viewfinder.
Weakness: Size and weight but what can you do when you pack all of this into one package, Not really a big negative.
First let me say I previously owned a Nikon D1 and a D2X and I really liked them both. Each new mod seemed to improve a little over the other. The D2X improved on the sensor resolution and slightly improved on the high ISO noise problem. Well the D3 ends all the similarities, it is a big leap forward in several key areas. First the big leap in ISO sensitivity from 3200 on the D2 to ISO 25600 on...
Nikon D3 professional digital SLR camera
Strengths: full frame CMOS censor, 9 FPS (frames per second), 12MP, low noise at high ISO, high resolution 3" LCD screen, LiveView, very good auto white balance, quality construction, fast read/write
Weakness: white balance presets not very accurate, pricey, a little on the heavy side, resolution loss with DX crop
As a professional wedding photographer, this has been the Nikon camera I've been waiting for. The solid construction and attention to detail (i.e. attached rubber flaps instead screw-type covers for the remote and sync adapters) really showcase the fact that this is a professional photographer's camera. I've had my D3 since 12/07 and have yet to be let down by its performance. Pushing the ISO...
Master of the NIGHT!! A paradigm shift in...
Strengths: Incredible high ISO image capability. Full frame! VERY high res. Great DR.
Weakness: HUGE...no popup flash. DX mode is less than desirable. AF grid of FX mode does not extend out far enough.
In 20+ years of shooting SLRs...and owning well over a dozen film and digital bodes...this is the most incredible camera upgrade ever. I upgraded and currently own a Nikon D2h, D200 and D40. I was very hesitatant in spending the money for such an expensive camera when cameras are being replaced so quickly with new models. But I have ZERO buyers remorse with this camera because of such a...
The best Nikon DSLR...period
Strengths: Full Frame Sensor; high quality photographs at 1600 ISO and above
Weakness: Price, Weight
Despite it's price, this is the best Nikon DSLR camera out there. If you have a collection of professional Nikkor lenses, you will appreciate this camera. No more 1.5X crop factor. The full frame sensor magically produces excellent photos at high ISO speeds (i.e., 1600) The weight gets some getting used to. Battery life is amazing. Taken over 1000 shots with it and battery is barely at 50%. If...
NIKON D3
Strengths: I was absolutely surprised by the quality of the D3 at ISO 3200-6400.
Weakness: No Problems
I was absolutely surprised by the quality of the D3 at ISO 3200-6400. It's a really amazing camera. The image quality is outstanding. The handling is great. The AF is very fast and even in low light no problem of focusing.
Great camera
Strengths: great in low-light, sharp pictures, ease of use..easy transition from D2X
Weakness: price.
This was a much anticipated upgrade from my D2X. I'd been hearing lots of praise for its low-light capabilities and have only been using this camera a few days now and so far it's been great.
Fantastic!
Strengths: Fast start up, great battery life, high useable ASA, large LCD, 2 card slots, easy to navigate menus.
Weakness: Wish it were lighter weight. A few more Megapixels wouldn't hurt.
I'm a film guy and have stuck it out till the bitter end using my F5....still a great camera. BUT, I know I will be able to get many more shots I never could have with my film camera and it's going to be nice to not have to travel around with a whole brick of film. Digital also allows you to play and experiment with things. Very, very happy with my purchase. Glad Nikon FINALLY came out with a...
Amazing camera -- if you can afford it!
Strengths: Low noise in high ISO
Weakness: Price
Nikon's latest camera once again raises the bar for any professional or advanced amateur that needs the best quality picture in the most demanding situations. The most raved about quality is the ability to push ISO to 6400 or higher and have pictures with low noise. This does wonders when shooting fast action sports and/or under low lighting situations. Highly recommended.
Nikon D3 (body only)
THE GOOD: Full-frame sensor; well designed, pro-level weather-sealed body; very low noise, even at extremely high ISOs; fast. THE BAD: Resolution lags far behind the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III and Sonys forthcoming 24-megapixel dSLR. THE BOTTOM LINE: Nikons flagship dSLR packs a full-frame 12-megapixel sensor and is a highly versatile imaging powerhouse that lets photographers create images...

TopNikon D3x Digital Camera Review
The Nikon D3x is an update to the company's professional-level D3 introduced in 2007. This new full-frame, 24.5-megapixel camera has a list price of $7999.95 without lens. The D3x is designed for studio use, weighing a hefty 43 oz without battery or lens. While the D3x more than doubles the megapixel count of the D3, it does so at the cost of dropping the maximum frame rate from nine frames per...
TopNikon D3 Review
As the the company's first full-frame digital SLR, the 12.1-megapixel Nikon D3 really turned a lot of heads, and brought quite a wave of former Nikon fans back into the fold. Though the full-frame story was big news and the 51-point AF system made folks take notice, it was the Nikon D3's incredible high ISO performance that drew the largest crowd of serious photography fans. Set the right ISO,...

TopNikon D3 Review
The Nikon D3 digital SLR is Nikon's first ever full-frame camera, offering a 12.1 megapixel, FX format CMOS sensor. The 9fps continuous mode, even when shooting RAW images, should appeal to all the sports photographers out there, supported by Nikon’s next-generation 51-point AF system. The Nikon D3 has an incredibly versatile ISO range of 100-25,800 (yes, ISO 25,800!), new EXPEED image...

Nikon NIK3 D3 Digital Camera
Strengths: Extremely easy to use. Fast.
Weakness: None
I am new to digital cameras and learning how to use this camera was easy and fast. I purchased three Nikon lenses to match this camera and they all work perfectly. ( 14-24mm f2.8, 24-70mm f2.8 and the 70-200mm f2.8) I am blown away by the clarity and detail of the photos that I am able to capture. All three lenses feel extremely balanced on the D3 and the weight with the heaviest lens is not a...
